Personally, I would make these in variegated baby yarns, so they
have more color.  I tried to make some out of crochet thread but
the hooks are so small, these just went easier and faster and I
didn't get so tangled up!  The other stuff I'm saving for kite
string!  (I made them for a friend's 3 daughters who are very
`into' Barbie.
